## About Purplebricks

Purplebricks is a British hybrid estate agency that combines online convenience with local property expertise.

Founded in 2012 by brothers Michael and Kenny Bruce, the company launched publicly in 2014 and quickly became known for its innovative approach to the property market. By eliminating the need for physical office spaces, Purplebricks offers a fixed-fee model, allowing home sellers to save on traditional commission costs. The company provides a range of real estate services, including selling, buying, and letting properties. Sellers benefit from a flat upfront fee for listings, professional valuations, and support throughout the sales process. Buyers can search for properties directly on the Purplebricks platform, which features exclusive listings and guidance from local agents. Additionally, Purplebricks offers tenant finding and property management services for landlords. After being acquired by Strike in 2023, Purplebricks continues to operate across the UK, maintaining its reputation as a leader in the online and hybrid estate agency space. The company focuses on delivering cost-effective, transparent, and accessible real estate solutions to its customers.
